Nestled into the hillside, overlooking the glittering Ionian Sea, this bright and boho-chic villa offers tranquillity and comfort in a postcard-perfect setting. We loved the laidback interiors – the neutral colour scheme and natural textures are instantly calming. Wake up feeling refreshed in pared-back bedrooms then tuck into a traditional Greek breakfast in the open-plan living space. Throw open the glass doors to let in a fresh, salt-tinged breeze. 

In the lull before lunchtime, soak up the glorious sunshine from the patio loungers or cool off with a gentle swim in the private pool. When it’s time for something to eat, take the quick five-minute drive into the charming fishing village of Vasiliki. Dine in waterside tavernas framed by blooms of bougainvillaea and follow with a stroll along the golden sands of Vasiliki Beach. And when the day draws to a close, head home to watch an unforgettable sunset from your terrace. We think it’s best enjoyed with a glass of your favourite tipple in hand.

Laconian Thyme

Rain Shower

Blessed with a privileged position overlooking Vasiliki beach, this beautiful hillside villa is perfectly placed for a blissful Greek retreat on the island of Lefkada.

The villa's interior is elegantly simple, with a well-equipped kitchen leading directly to an outdoor dining area with a retractable awning so you can seek solace from the heat of the midday sun at lunchtime before dining under the stars in the evening. 

Upstairs, the two bedrooms benefit from jaw-dropping panoramas, private outdoor spaces and their own en-suite bathrooms. The curved design of the main bedroom is a particular highlight and offers 270-degree views over the surrounding landscape.

Lesser known than Corfu to the north and Kefalonia to the south, Lefkada is where you want to head for some of the best beaches this side of the Indian Ocean. With secluded coves, golden sands and crystal-clear waters, you've got all the ingredients for a picture-perfect escape. The nearby western coast will dazzle you with its beautiful beaches, such as Porto Katsiki​, fifteen kilometres away. 

Closer to home, the village of Vasiliki is something of a watersports and windsurfing mecca with a pebble and shingle beach that makes for stunning clear seas. There are plenty of traditional tavernas and lively bars, particularly around the harbour, where you can practically eat with your toes in the water.

Villa Vasiliki

Bright, modern and only 350 metres from Vasiliki Beach, this villa is an excellent choice for a family or close-knit group of friends wanting to while away the hours in the sunshine. Roll out of bed and onto the balcony to bask in the morning breeze. Should you start to feel peckish, put together a platter of fresh produce in the kitchen and dine outside in the shade of the covered terrace. 

When the sun reaches its highest point, slink into the private pool and cool off with a couple of unhurried laps. Loll about on the loungers or take a break from the heat and relax in the breezy living space – we loved the juxtaposition of the curved wall and sharp lines of the contemporary furnishings. If exploring is on the agenda, take the short five-minute drive into Vasiliki village. Watch the boats to and fro from the picturesque port and feast on delicious Greek cuisine in waterside tavernas.

Set on a gently sloping hillside above the semi-circular bay of Vasiliki, this home has amazing views of the sandy, family-friendly beach of Ponti. There’s a sparkling private swimming pool and sun terrace for those long sunny days. Inside, the minimalist chalet-style decor lets the wonderful sea vistas do the talking. Location-wise, it’s 1.5 kilometres to the nearest taverna and 200 metres further to the sandy beach of Ponti (remember to wear comfy shoes if you decide to walk, as it's uphill on the way back). This area is perfect for wind and kite surfing, kayaking, yachting, and scuba diving too, making it a perfect base for active and leisure travellers alike.

The interiors in this Greek home may be on the simple side, but the sun-drenched terraces, private pool and swoon-worthy views make up for it. If you like your coastal getaway with a little pinch of sea vistas, this villa will be in the running for you. Take your pick of outdoor spaces to enjoy an apéritif as you drink in the scenery and if the coast starts calling your name, you’re in luck – the nearest beach is just twenty metres away. With sandy shores and shallow waters, it’s a popular spot for watersport enthusiasts and families alike. 

Azure Horizon

Few views are more breathtaking than this. Luckily, you'll be able to make the most of them from the radiant terrace and oodles of outdoor spaces – every nook and cranny, both inside and out, shows off the Ionian Sea glistening on the horizon.

Morning, noon or night, a home like this calls for spending every spare moment outside. Rise with the sun each morning and savour a coffee on the balcony, then pad downstairs for breakfast on the terrace. Enjoy long, lazy afternoons splashing in the pool, snoozing on the lounge chairs and watching the waves crash on nearby Vasiliki Beach. Craving the feel of the sand between your toes? Grab your bag and set off for the shore – it's just a brisk 450-metre stroll away.

Later on, once the daylight begins to fade, return home for dinner and drinks alfresco. Fire up the barbecue and dine underneath twilight skies before ending the evening with a glass of wine and good company – toasting those unforgettable panoramas, of course.

Patio / Terrace

There's nothing quite like a sea view, and this home delivers panoramic scenery in spades. It's located outside the small but idyllic village of Vasiliki, just 20 meters from a sandy beach. All levels have balconies or terraces so you can enjoy the Ionian vistas with ease, whether you're swimming in the private pool, sipping cocktails on the balcony, or dining on Grecian delights under the covered terrace. Inside, the rooms are cosy, if a little dated. The style may not win any awards, but it doesn't have to with views like that.

Song of the Tides

On the southern coast of Lefkas, the azure waters of the Ionian Sea stretch out for miles. This island plays host to the spectacular Mount Elati, and the foot of the mountain is just a fifteen-minute drive from this coastal villa. En route, you’ll also pass by the Fabbrica Olive Museum, housed in an old olive oil factory. But if you’re more interested in beaches, you’ll have plenty of choice too.

Six minutes from Vasiliki Beach, this villa stands tall by cliffs that are simply made for panoramic views. In traditional style, the home has white plaster balustrades around its terrace and balconies, as well as terracotta roof tiles and native foliage at its entrance. However, the interiors are surprisingly modern. Understated furniture, a white tiled floor, and a neutral colour scheme allow for the main feature to stand out – that view. 

Open the curtains to see rolling hills, quaint coastal towns, and of course the big blue sea. And if you peer over the edge a bit more, look down to your very own covered terraces, and a pool area on the lower ground level. Sun loungers, a stone-built barbecue, and parasols complete the poolside vibe, with striking views continuing over the edge.

Olive Cliff

Standing on top of a hill on the southern coastline of Lefkas, this stone villa not only has a beautiful view of the dazzling Ionian Sea, but the neighbouring islands of Ithaca and Kefalonia can also be spotted.

It's a truly idyllic backdrop against which guests can embrace the alfresco way of life, whether that's paddling about in the swimming pool, soaking up the sunshine while reading on a lounger or dining under the pergola. There's a stone barbecue to help make the last of these a reality, too.

When you eventually head into the home, you'll find an interior that adds a modern spin to the traditional whitewashed design synonymous with Greek islands. Two living rooms provide plenty of space in which to relax, while the Jacuzzi bathtub in one of the ensuites is another superb option.

We're guessing you didn't come all the way to Greece not to visit the seaside and Vasiliki beach, plus a small selection of restaurants and bars, is only ten minutes away in the car. There's another smaller sandy spot that can be reached by walking forty-five minutes from the home, as well.



Majesty & Marble

Indoor Pool

Courtyard

With one of the best views we've seen on this beautiful island, this newly-built home is an understated slice of magic. Set on a green hillside overlooking the glittering sea, it'll be an effort to do anything but sit and stare when you first arrive.

Part of a small cluster of similar homes, this one stands apart from the others so it's perfect if privacy is high on your agenda. Handbuilt by the owner in a traditional style, there are two floors – each with its own kitchen and independent entrance but linked internally by stairs – so it offers some flexibility. And best of all, there's plenty of outside space to enjoy that view from. Walk across to your private pool and comfy sun loungers await on the stone terrace, surrounded by fragrant wild herbs and olive trees, all with staggering views – especially at sunset.

Elsewhere, five comfortable bedrooms – three upstairs and two on the ground floor – make this home big enough for a large group of friends or a couple of families holidaying together. With a shared living room and a choice of dining spots outside, it's easy to spend time all together or to find some privacy.

For the more adventurous, a steep hike leads down to a little private cove, where clear waters and a white pebble beach are yours to enjoy. Not the easiest walk and likely to take you around twenty-five minutes, it's well worth it to dive into those turquoise waters. The owner even runs yoga and wellness retreats where you're encouraged to get closer to nature.

With some of the more popular beaches within a twenty-minute drive, along with the pretty, hillside village of Athani, there's lots to see and do away from the villa too.

   

Sunset & Sea Lilies 

Smoke Detector

This understated villa is designed with the surrounding landscape in mind, complementing the nature and quiet beauty of Lefkas Island. Interiors are laidback and breezy, with neutral tones, shabby-chic furnishings and soothing blue tones. Windows frame the seascape-like paintings in the living space and glass doors in the kitchen open wide onto a neat terrace – it’s the perfect spot for long, lazy dinners that last well into the evening. 

Float about in the cool water of your private pool before grabbing your beach essentials and taking a drive to Porto Katsiki for an afternoon spent lounging on the soft sands. When hunger strikes, head into the charming village of Vasiliki for a slap-up feast in a cosy taverna. Finish the day with a blazing sunset on Vasiliki Beach before heading home for a blissful sleep in comfortable beds.

Call of the Sea

Stair Gates

Sea, sand and sun rays – what more could you want from an Aegean escape? This villa on the unspoiled island of Lefkada has it all, and more. Wake up to revitalising ocean views, then drift outside to feel the heat on your skin. The private pool is a blissful spot to gaze out at boats crawling across the horizon. Post-swim, lay on a lounger and tune in to the Greek chorus of cicadas.

The home has been built from natural stone from the area and roofed with old Byzantine tiles, giving it an authentically earthy feel. Inside, your hosts have modernised it with simple furnishings and a calming palette. You'll find everything you need to whip up a hearty breakfast or Greek-style lunch to enjoy on the shaded terrace. 

If you feel the pull of the sea, you'll be glad to hear the nearest beach, Vasiliki, is just a ten-minute drive away. En route, take in breathtaking views across the bay to dense greenery, dotted with traditional stone houses.

Step into The property, and be greeted by the stunning sea views from the private pool terrace. This spacious villa boasts three bedrooms and bathrooms to welcome groups of up to 6. Bright and welcoming throughout, the cool blue and white shades that decorate the villa reflect the shades found on the local bay. A fully equipped kitchen, cosy lounge and spacious bedrooms create a home-from-home that'll be hard to leave!

On the outside, this charming villa has an old-world appeal, with its red wooden shutters, rust-coloured tegula roof and classic stone façade. But step inside and you'll find bright and open living spaces, sleek bathrooms  (one even has a jacuzzi-style tub) and bedrooms as comfortable as they are stylish. We think it's the perfect family home – and with views like that, it's hard to imagine a more idyllic getaway.

Days here are endlessly dreamy. Wake up to the sight of the Sivota Bay in the distance, then pad out onto the balcony to savour an espresso in the morning air. Afternoons are best spent lounging on the daybed (an excellent spot for a catnap in the sun), splashing in the glimmering pool and swinging in the hammock underneath the shady trees. Follow the path down to the sea when you fancy a dip in the ocean, or stroll through the lush gardens, picking fresh vegetables, ripened fruit and aromatic herbs to use for the night's dinner. And speaking of meals, there's no better place to tuck into a feast than the outdoor table, sharing a bottle of wine as the evening slowly fades.

It's only a five-minute drive into town, where local tavernas and coffee shops sit along the bay. Many beautiful sandy beaches are also within easy reach, including Afteli (a fifteen-minute drive), Ammoussa (reachable in twenty minutes) and Paralia Mikros Gialos (twenty-two minutes by car), so there’ll never be a dull day in paradise.

Built into a Lefkada hillside – in a rather harmonious fashion we might add – this sensational villa is blessed with the sort of incredible views at which you'll never tire of gawping. From the address, there's an uninterrupted panorama of the Ionian Sea, Nydri Gulf and the neighbouring island of Skorpios.

As you would hope, there are plenty of spots from which you can admire this wonderful landscape. If the weather's on the warmer side, you can take in the surroundings from the pair of swimming pools or out on one of the myriad terraces and balconies. When the sun's gone down, you can choose instead to sink back into the Jacuzzi or retire next to the fire pit for a little bit of added cosiness.

Although you'll want to spend as much time out in the open air as possible here, you won't be disappointed when you finally have to head inside. There are two wings to the property, plus a self-contained studio apartment, which means that there's an abundance of private space, even for larger groups. The design throughout is gloriously contemporary, with sleek surfaces, a minimalist approach to adornment and oodles of natural light from the large windows. If you ever have a hankering for the more rustic side of Greek accommodation, the pair of wood-burning fireplaces might just scratch that itch.

In the local village, there are a couple of restaurants to keep you satiated, but there's a much wider choice in the tourist town of Nydri, about twenty minutes' drive away. In the same direction, Dessimi Beach takes just over a quarter of an hour to reach in the car.


Centre of Attention

Cafetiere

Overlooking the deep blue of Sivota Bay, this charming stone villa is where nature and tradition meet modern comforts. We love the home’s pretty red shutters that mirror the deep scarlet of the garden’s climbing roses – an outdoor haven where a glistening pool awaits. Spend your afternoons taking dips in its waters while enjoying views across the bay before catching some rays on the perfectly placed loungers or on the day bed while indulging in a good book and a cold drink. 
 
The outdoor table beckons starlit barbecue feasts and gloriously sunny breakfasts, while inside your home, you’ll find plenty of board games and entertainment should the sun get too hot. Factor in the comfortable bedrooms with their dreamy sea vistas, as well as their beautiful en-suite stone-carved showers and you’ve got everything you need for true holiday bliss. 
 
Outside of your home, Afteli Beach is a fifteen-minute drive away, Sivota is seven minutes away by car and bustling Lefkada is a forty-minute drive from your door. 

Roses Are Red

Find new energy and a refreshing sense of calm when staying in this luxurious villa on the mountainside of Sivota. With every detail designed with comfort in mind, guests are guaranteed a blissfully indulgent stay that makes forgetting about the stresses of daily life as easy as can be. 

Inside, the space feels bright and airy, with an abundance of natural light flowing freely around the villa. Unplug from reality and tune into some much-needed leisure and relaxation, by making the most of the home's entertainment and surround sound system. The open plan living area and kitchen is the perfect place to pop on your favourite playlist or podcast while cooking up some local Greek food. Better still, why not hire a private chef to come and do it for you? 

Out on the decking area, soak up the mesmerising views over Sivota Bay as the yachts pass by. You'll have the choice of perching at the alfresco dining area, under the shaded pergolas or in a prime viewing spot on the high-quality sun loungers positioned by the private pool. 

Although the vistas from the villa never tire, you'll most definitely want to see a closer view of Sivota Bay and the village, which can be found just a ten-minute walk away. Dot in and out of the charming boutiques and be sure to try some freshly caught fish and seafood at one of the local tavernas. 

New Energy

Secluded, this tiny villa hides within an olive grove just uphill from the harbour of Sivota. Sleeping two, the house is small but intimate and personal, perfect for a couple's getaway or a solo trip. Outside is where you can stretch out a little more, enjoying the views of the picturesque harbour and the fishing village from the private pool or the balcony. Downhill you'll find a waterside cafe to enjoy breakfast at, several shops for stocking up and a gallery perfect for a romantic stroll.

The Cobbled Nest

Outdoor Pool

Standing over the glittering Ionian Sea, this impressive villa offers plenty of outdoor space. The garden has an array of patios and relaxing spots from which to admire views of the Lefkada countryside, our favourite being the emerald infinity pool. All three bedrooms have their own balcony too, where you can enjoy some time to yourself. It was the jetty just below the villa that caught our eye, however, which offers a sunbathing area right next to the ocean. It’s only shared with two other villas, so you don’t have to worry about overcrowding. The traditional harbour of Sivota is just a 45-minute walk away, where you can enjoy a meal on the waterfront.

Emerald & Topaz

This stone-built hillside home on the Greek island of Lefkas has a lot going for it. Located in the harbour village of Sivota and surrounded by olive groves, this four-bedroom home boasts a private, outdoor swimming pool and a terrace with a pergola from which to admire stunning sea views. What’s more, there’s an outdoor kitchen and a covered alfresco dining area – perfect for making the most of sunny days and balmy nights. Although family-friendly, it’s worth noting that this home’s ladder-effect balconies and low stone walls mean young children should be kept an eye on.

Olives All Around

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Located on the east coast of Lefkada, this villa provides wild views of the countryside and Ionian Sea and the unrestrained comfort of home. Unhurried mornings begin in the open-plan yet cosy living space – sip a coffee on the soft leather sofa before prepping a Greek-inspired breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. When you’re ready to soak up the sunshine, spill out onto the terrace and call dibs on a poolside lounger.

After a leisurely swim, wind through the hills to the heart of Nydri, a charming town packed with cafes, tavernas and souvenir shops. Stroll along the promenade with an ice cream in hand, stretch out on Perigiali Beach or hop on the ferry and explore the nearby island of Meganisi. In the evening, return home for a glass of wine on the terrace as the sky turns apricot.

Perched overlooking the Ionian Sea, this villa in Sivota sits comfortably alongside the Lefkada landscape. The villa is contemporary with traditional touches – with plenty of space to relax and socialise. You can spend days unwinding on the sunny terrace with the infinity pool, and enjoy evening meals cooked on the barbecue in the outdoor dining area. Just a few steps below the villa, you can find the private jetty – ideal for rock bathing. A short drive from the town – you can dine in one of the many seafood restaurants and have after-dinner drinks in an authentic taverna. 

Sivota Sunset

Baby Bath

With its pine-covered mountains and sun-drenched shoreline, the island of Lefkada is a nature lover’s haven, a beach lover’s paradise and the perfect setting for a rejuvenating escape. And perched high in the hills, just a short drive from Nidri village, this home will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired from the moment of arrival. 

From the mesmerising views and calm-Greek aesthetics to the infinity pool and abundance of space, every detail celebrates the unique magic of this location. 

Feel a wonderful sense of awe as you watch the sunrise from the balcony, take a refreshing dip in the pool and spend lazy afternoons on a lounger. By evening, the terrace transforms into an intimate gathering place – perfect for dreamy drinks and Greek-inspired feasts as the stars fill the sky. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, the five bedrooms are styled with everything you could need for a restorative night’s rest.

From here, days can be spent embracing the light and carefree spirit of the island. It’s just a short drive to the glistening coastline and beaches, while Lefkada’s Old Town with its vibrant bars and restaurants, is just a thirty-minute drive away.

Ambrosia Sun

Experience the Greek island of Lefkada from this villa with panoramic views over the Ionian. Though the decor is a little dated in places, the postcard-perfect views from the en-suite bedrooms are a highlight, as is the outside with its terrace, pool and sun loungers. There’s even a separate children’s pool making it great for family holidays. Outside of the home, hike the nearby trails and take advantage of the mountainous location. Nidri village is a five-minute drive, while the Dimosari Waterfalls (1.8 kilometres) and Nidri Beach (1.3 kilometres) are beauty spots not to be missed. 


Nidri Waterfalls

Throws

With every new morning spent here comes another day of blissful relaxation and reconnecting with nature. Overlooking Vlicho Bay and perched on an olive grove, this breathtaking villa is sure to impress with its sea and mountain views alone. However, with luxurious finishing touches, inspiring designs and a sun-drenched terrace, it's safe to say this home offers an abundance of incredible features to enjoy. 

Inside and on the terrace, wooden elements blend into the natural environment creating a soothing space that radiates peace and serenity. We love the minimal designs earthy colour scheme of the interiors that seamlessly complement the scenes found outside on the terrace in harmony. 

One of the biggest standout features of the outdoor area is the large metal columns and wooden beams of the pergola, which creates a unique and stylish design element that shades following the movement of the sun. Spend your evenings up on the wrap-around balcony terrace, which presents an elevated viewing platform to take in the sunset. As the balmy sky changes colour over the bay, you can't help but feel energised and rejuvenated by the surrounding natural beauty. 

Just a few minutes walk down to Dessimi Beach – you'll have the local attractions within easy reach. Why not hire a boat and sail around the island? And with the seaside village of Vlicho also just 2 kilometres away and the waterfront tavernas of Geni, only a five-minute drive away – there is plenty to see and do beyond the realms from the panoramic paradise of the villa. That's if you can tear yourself away from those views, of course. 

New Morning

A breathtaking stay awaits you at this divine villa. It sits in a peaceful and picturesque spot, nestled away on a hillside just a short drive from Lefkada's capital city. Built with Byzantine design elements in mind, this majestic home is easy to mistake for an ancient monastery – albeit, more suited to sun-worshippers than monks.

The elevated position means this home benefits from ocean views in one direction and mountain vistas in the other, and it certainly isn't short on places to sit back, relax and soak in these stunning surroundings. We especially love the outdoor pool, complete with in-pool loungers for ultimate relaxation – and the flower-filled courtyard is the perfect place for your morning coffee.

Heaven's Light

Situated on Lefkada’s east coast, this tranquil hillside villa with Ionian Sea views guarantees a relaxing stay for a family or group of friends. It’s the perfect base to explore the island – you’re a five-minute car ride from the heart of Nydri, 1.8 kilometres from the Dimosari Waterfalls and a short drive from picturesque Nikiana. When you’re not unwinding on Perigiali Beach or tucking into Greek delicacies in a local taverna, you’ll be bobbing about in your home’s private pool and hot tub before soaking up the sunshine on a lounger. At dusk, the covered terrace is the ideal spot to kick back with a glass of something chilled.

The interiors are traditional and inviting – the wood-panelled ceiling adds a touch of cosiness while the tile floors keep things cool underfoot on hot days. There’s a fully-equipped kitchen for rustling up something tasty and quiet bedrooms that guarantee a restful night’s sleep at the end of another idyllic day.

Changing Times

Surrounded by Lefkada's olive trees, lush forests and rocky terrain, this villa has a perfect position high up in the hills. From this vantage point, views of the Ionian are a given – and if you're anything like us, you'll be keen to spend all day and all night making the most of the scenery. How could you not, with Vlycho Bay and the islands of Scorpios, Meganisi and Atokos glistening on the horizon?

Enjoy relaxing afternoons poolside, flitting between dips in the pool, cocktails on the lounge chairs, and naps in the hammock. Come suppertime, fire up the built-in barbecue and dine alfresco on classic Grecian fare, the setting sun and sparkling sea creating the perfect backdrop.

Five minutes away by car is the charming port town of Nydri, one of the busiest on the island's east coast. Here, you can hop on a boat tour, walk to the Nydri Waterfalls or sample the local cuisine at the beachfront bars and restaurants. Nydri Beach is 4 kilometres away, but for even more postcard-worthy beaches, head west to Pefkoulia or Egremni Beach – both reachable in an hour's drive.

Where the Water Falls

Changing Table

Single-Level Home

Secluded yet conveniently located, a five-minute drive from the nearest sandy beach at Nydri, this contemporary villa sunken into the forest is perfectly suited to groups of friends or families looking to get away from it all.

Recently renovated, you'll immediately notice the modern touch that's been given to this rural home – from the sleek glass-screened balconies to the handmade furniture, casement windows and hotel-quality bedding. Natural light pours into the home, thanks to the sliding doors framing the idyllic sea views beyond the pool. With direct access onto the terraces from each of the three bedrooms, an alfresco dining area with covered seating and a sprawling pool area with several sun loungers, this home encourages seamless outdoor living. 

Head out to explore and in addition to the nearby beach, the lively town of Nydri, with plenty of fantastic tavernas and buzzing bars, lies just 3km from your villa. 

Fairy in the Forest

Smart TV

Sea-view shades of blue await you when you vacation in Sea Breeze Haven, perfectly positioned in ancient olive groves overlooking Vlicho Bay, on the east coast of the Greek island of Lefkada. This brand-new villa has four spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests, ideal for a large family holiday or groups of friends sharing. The one hundred and twenty-three square metre villa is built over two storeys and is constructed out of classic Mediterranean whitewashed walls and local stone, with glass-fronted balconies, that give uninterrupted views over the azure Ionian Sea...

Sea Breeze Haven

Overlooking an assembly of islands in the Ionian Sea, this breezy villa has several balconies and a private pool boasting panoramic views across Nydri. Spanning three stories, it won't be suitable for those with limited mobility, and the interiors are minimalistic and dated in some places. That said, it's relatively roomy and the sun-kissed outdoor spaces are perfect for socialising – the veranda makes a great spot for family barbecues. As it's located high in the mountains, you'll definitely need a car – although the beach and centre of Nydri are just over 1 kilometre away, where you can hop on a boat to visit the surrounding islands.

The Eternal Blue

With its traditional interiors and modern trimmings, this hillside villa on Lefkada’s east coast is a place to switch off and embrace the go-slow way of life. After a blissful slumber in the fuss-free bedrooms, sit down to a light breakfast on the shaded terrace before spending the morning lounging by the pool and hot tub. Should you want to steal a moment for yourself, slink off to the swing seat and get lost in a good book. 

Come together for a spot of lunch in the open-plan kitchen diner or jump in the car and take the short five-minute drive into the heart of Nydri for its authentic tavernas. Take it easy with a gentle stroll along the promenade or lie back and soak up the golden sunshine on Perigiali Beach. If you’re feeling adventurous, however, explore the Dimosari Waterfalls, just 1.8 kilometres away. And when it’s time to call it a day, return home for a snifter of Ouzo on the balcony as dusk descends on the indigo Ionian Sea.

Ionian Eyes

Desk

To say the views from this villa are breathtaking is an understatement. With sweeping blue vistas over the sea and the islands hugging the coast, this hillside retreat is all about the scenery. While we think the views are best enjoyed from the gated pool and dining terrace, Ionian eyefuls can still be admired from inside, even if the functional contemporary decor isn’t quite as spectacular. With easy access to a clutch of beaches and boat trips on offer from Nidri’s port, you’ve got everything you need here for your very own Greek odyssey.

With a sweeping panorama taking in Agia Kyriaki and Myrtos bays, this villa up in the hills of Agkonas is the perfect island retreat. Days can be spent by the swimming pool, lying on the flat loungers and taking in the views of mountains and sea. On the first floor, a bamboo pergola shades the outdoor dining area and a hanging chair looks out over the sprawling vista. 

Inside, it’s an industrial-style space of poured concrete and iron railings with a couple of vintage pieces keeping things characterful. There’s plenty of prep space on the concrete worktops in the kitchen and washed wood cabinets feel bespoke. In the master bedroom, the honey-hued stone wall on display sings of old Kefalonia, and the second bedroom has a distinctly Moroccan vibe.

When it comes to exploring the area, you’ll find a mini market within walking distance, and there’s a beautiful, unspoilt local beach a ten-minute drive away with a handful of cafés to choose from. 

Ionian Embrace

A haven of craggy coves, translucent waters and endless olive groves, Lefkada will welcome you with open arms. And by staying at this modern villa, you'll experience the best the island has to offer. Beyond the heavenly infinity pool, sweeping views and comfortable outdoor seating, the home's interiors are fresh, contemporary, and designed to put you at ease from the get-go.

After a morning of soaking up sun rays on the terrace, walk just fifteen minutes to Dessimi beach. This halcyon bay is a popular spot for snorkelling – see if you can spot a resident squid or octopus beneath the translucent waters. The island's waterfront capital, Lefkada, is a twenty-five-minute drive away. Here, you'll find a colourful assortment of traditional tavernas, unique shopping haunts and a stunning beach within easy reach.

Return home for an evening dip before preparing a Greek feast – or hiring a professional chef, with the help of your host – and dining al fresco as the sun sets over the inky ocean.

You'll need to pinch yourself when waking up in this Grecian paradise. Nestled among the hills and olive groves of Kefalonia, this characterful home offers privacy and seclusion. Gazing out from your private terrace, the glistening expanse of the Ionian sea beckons. Arrive at the nearest beach after a scenic fifteen-minute drive – if you can resist stopping at the inviting tavernas you'll pass on the way.

The open-plan living space offers a uniquely homey retreat, warmed up by the use of wood and rustic natural fabrics. This leads to a mezzanine desk area, ideal for those who can't quite switch off as you'll at least be able to separate work from play. The bedrooms are as blissful as you'd expect, two of which open onto balconies with spectacular sea views. We can't think of a better spot to watch the lights fade and stars emerge.

By choosing this abode, you're perfectly placed to explore the best of the island. Assos, a picturesque paintbox village, is within easy reach. Spend the day and visit the crumbling Venetian castle, built in the 16th century to protect against pirates. Even closer to home, you'll find the tiny Fiscardo. This quaint fishing community is a worthy pit-stop if you're in the mood for fresh seafood or a boat trip around the island.

Ionian Oasis

Surrounded by olive groves and dense forest, the scent of pine and cedar lingers in the air at this deluxe villa. From the jutting hilltop terrace the view out over sparkling Dessimi Bay, flanked by verdant hills, is simply stunning. Enjoy it from the cool of the infinity pool, or on a lounger in the sun. Secret terraces and verandas are furnished with macrame hanging chairs, hammocks and sofas providing many a boho-luxe spot to enjoy a good book. The first-floor balcony is the perfect spot to take in the mountain and sea view, preferably with a cocktail in hand.

It feels as though the interiors have been designed with nature in mind. Driftwood sculptures, macrame cushions and wicker chairs and lampshades create a palette of raw wood and white. It all draws the eye to the view from floor to ceiling glass, which can be rolled back to blend the living room with the terrace. The kitchen is minimalist but feels luxurious in dove-grey with everything tucked away behind cupboards. While bedrooms benefit from glass doors onto patios and balconies.

This one’s for a beachy break with the closest sandy bay a five-minute walk away at Dessimi. And if you fancy dining out, the charming town of Nidri is just a ten-minute drive.

Beach / Pool Towels

Situated in Ventourata village, this single-storey home is ideal for a family retreat in North Kefalonia. The fuss-free interiors provide everything needed for a comfortable stay, while outdoors, you’re invited to make the most of the Mediterranean climate. If you’re travelling with little ones, just be aware there are multiple open-sided steps in the outdoor space, so they’ll need to be supervised at all times. That aside, hours of fun are to be had in the private pool or simply soaking up the sun on the terrace.

Inside, the light-filled living space and elegant bedrooms match the panoramas perfectly. When you're ready to explore, make the short drive to Agia Efimia or venture further afield to Myrtos Beach, Sami, and Asos.
